"Gao Ying, I want to ask you a question. Do you know... what would happen if you got eternal life?"
Gao Ying actually thought about this problem, but to be honest, he felt that there was no point in thinking about this problem.
"I... don't know. Right now, I'm just trying my best to survive."
"You...wait for me a moment."
After Dong Xie finished speaking, he turned around and walked into a certain cell. Now every cell was open, so he could go in whenever he wanted.
Gao Ying couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he could only stay where he was. Jack, on the other hand, felt baffled: "I still don't understand...how did we become some kind of devil's messenger inexplicably? And we also changed.
Becoming a threat to humanity?”
Gao Ying sighed and said: "Jack, what do you think...if the one who asked us to take this kind of terrifying exam is really the devil, then...why does the devil promise us eternal life?"
"this?"
Jack is a Westerner, and for Westerners, the devil is a very familiar concept. In any case, if the culprit of everything is the devil, then...what reason does the devil have to give them eternal life? After going through this kind of test, what does it mean for the devil?
Is there any benefit at all?
"soul……"
It was Qin Yexunyi who blurted out this word.
Jack was startled, and his face looked ugly. After all, he was born in a Christian family.
"Do we... gain eternal life by giving our souls to the devil?"
"It's very possible." Frankly speaking, Gao Ying thinks this possibility is very high. However, it is meaningless to know this now. It is impossible not to take the exam. Even if you know this, you can only continue to use this "devil messenger"
"The identity continues. Although he is not willing to sell his soul, he does not want to die either. Let's leave the future matters to be considered in the future.
At this time, Dong Xie took out a thick black book from the cell and walked over.
"This is a book that the warden issued to the prisoners, asking us to read it, saying that we should seek salvation by reading this book."
Then he put the cover facing Gao Ying, Jack and Qin Yesun!
The cover of this book has "Holy Bible" printed on it, which is a Bible. Gao Ying couldn't help but think of "The Shawshank Redemption", where the protagonist also hollowed out the pages and hid the Bible given to him by the warden.
A hammer successfully dug through the prison.
But before he had time to think about why Dong Xie showed him a Bible, his eyes noticed the cross drawn on the cover!
At this moment... Gao Ying felt strong discomfort! His legs could no longer support his body, and large beads of sweat rolled from his forehead to the ground. He felt extremely dizzy at this time, and his consciousness even began to blur!
And Jack and Qin Yexunyi also have the same symptoms!
"Take it away! Take it away!"
Gao Ying yelled. In his sight, the cross on the cover of the Bible seemed to sparkle with gold, and he seemed to be being judged by this cross!
He stretched out his hand fiercely and knocked the Bible in Dong Xie's hand to the ground!
At this time, his face was covered with sweat and he was panting heavily. The conditions of Jack and Qin Ye were not much better, but Jack was especially unbearable. He even vomited all over the floor and his face was extremely pale. And Qin Ye
Xun Yi also covered his chest and barely supported the ground with his hands.
And after I stopped staring at the cross in the Bible, this series of painful symptoms disappeared.
"Do you understand now why I call you 'devil's messengers'?"
Gao Ying nodded, and Dong Xie reached out his hand to help him up.
"When you choose to take this kind of exam, you have become God's enemy." Dong Xie continued: "Although I don't know why you paid the price of your souls and eventually became a great threat to mankind, but it is impossible for you
Receive eternal life freely.”
Gao Ying suddenly didn't understand.
Dong Xie's words seem inconsistent.
He clearly knows all this, but he still wants to get eternal life. Even if he abandons his adoptive father's teachings, he seems to be still struggling. Now he is questioning himself?
But how could Gao Ying know all this in the first place? He just thought it was a college entrance examination essay question! How did he know...
But at this moment, Gao Ying suddenly thought...
If the price is not to undergo such a cruel and terrifying test, but to sell his soul to the devil, then will he choose to make a contract with the devil?
He looked at the eye-catching black skull on the examination paper in his hand.
"You want me to give you an answer." Gao Ying understood. "You hope that when you make this decision, there will be one more responsible person, not just the answer you come up with. Or you think, if
Let me give you some advice. Can you relax a little and feel less guilty?"
Dong Xie didn't expect that Gao Ying could see his thoughts so sharply.
"Yes..." He nodded slightly, "I'm despicable..."
For Gao Ying, he doesn't care at all about becoming God's enemy. He is a Chinese and does not believe in God or savior. Dong Xie seems to have grown up in a Western society, and his person is probably a pious person.
The teachings of his Christian adoptive father made it difficult to break through his own psychological barriers. However, nothing mattered to Gao Ying. He just wanted to live, and he came here just to get the reward of resurrection after death. If he wanted to live, why?
Is there any crime?
"If you are still hesitant, you can think about this later. You can help us first and then seek answers in the process."
Gao Ying's words made Dong Xie feel reasonable.
"All right!"
Qin Yexun looked at Dong Xie coldly, not knowing what he was planning at this time. Jack was very frustrated: "So... I won't be able to go to church in the future? I was baptized in the church not long after I was born.
, I have become God’s enemy now? Oh my God!”
Having said this, he couldn't help but turn around and wanted to find a corner to kneel down and express repentance to God.
At this time, he noticed Ruth's body. His dead eyes were still wide open, which looked very scary.
"If I die, I won't be able to go to heaven. Am I destined to go to hell?" The thought of this made Jack's fear of death much stronger than before.
If both God and the devil exist, then it is not surprising that there is heaven and hell. However, Jack knows that now he has no choice but to go to the dark side. After all, what kind of enemy of God can he even be?
There is no guarantee of survival. Thinking about this is not a joke.
"Um?"
But at this time, Jack suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Just now? Was Ruth's face facing this direction? It seems... it should be facing that direction..."
Before he could finish talking to himself, he felt a hand holding his foot tightly!
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
As Jack screamed, Gao Ying, Qin Yexun and others couldn't help but turn around!
Ruth's body...and Jack were gone!
"This..." Gao Ying's mind went blank and he said quickly: "Let's run away!"
Then, the three of them quickly fled outside the prison area!
On the same spot, only the Bible remained, lying alone on the ground.
Then, the place became pitch black. In the darkness, the cross on the cover of the Bible seemed to have lost its brilliance.
Inside the prison corridor.
By this time, the three of them were running out of breath.
Dong Xie was also in shock at this time. He knew that...if he chose to become a "devil's messenger", he would continue to live like this in the future. However, after becoming the adopted son of the Gominik family, he had been repeating this horrific behavior.
Experience. He knew the reason why his mother left him in the Gominik family. Now... after losing the protection of the Gominik family, where will his future go?
"Gao Ying..." Dong Xie took another breath, looked at Gao Ying, and said, "I...actually don't know what the right choice is."
Gao Ying was actually shocked in his heart. He had no choice, but Dong Xie still had a choice.
"If you take this kind of exam, your life will not be guaranteed."
Dong Xie naturally knows this too.
"Think it over carefully. No matter what, you have to make your own decision."
Speaking of this, Gao Ying looked behind him with lingering fear.
Behind the dark prison passage, at this time... there was silence... (To be continued)
